Witness in Fayette County love triangle: We traded sex for drugs and alcohol

A woman charged in connection with a love triangle murder testified that she and her boyfriend often traded sex for drugs and alcohol with the man who's accused of killing him.

Deana Hughes was the only witness to take the stand Monday during a preliminary hearing for Wiley Gambrel, the man charged in James Plance's murder.

Hughes testified that she, Plance and Gambrel each drank about a case of beer and did crack cocaine into the morning. She told the judge that, at one point, she watched Gambrel go outside to his van, grab his rifle, come back inside and shoot Plance in the head. On the stand, she admitted helping Gambrel clean up the scene.
